About us:

The British School, New Delhi is unique. Not just because it is home to a rich cultural mix of almost 700 students with 50 nationalities ranging from ages 3 to 18. Nor because it operates a not-for-profit systems with an inclusive approach. The reason is simple. It is more than a school; it is a family. In India, family comes first; and this is just one of the special Indian traditions that we embrace. As an international school that caters to internationally-mobile students, we welcome and celebrate all cultures and nationalities while ensuring the Indian spirit shines through. We offer a largely British curriculum that matches international standards and at the same time, draws inspiration from the rich experiences that life in India provides.

The school was first started in July 1963 by a group of British parents with 40 students representing 6 nationalities in a residential colony in New Delhi. They were supported by the British High Commissioner and in 1969 moved the school to its present site in Chanakyapuri, the heart of the diplomatic area. Today the school is still ‘owned’ and managed by students’ parents who form The British School Society. From the beginning we have been dedicated to educating students for life, challenging them to fulfil their individual potential in a stimulating learning environment which fosters high moral and ethical standards, developing a sense of awareness for the world around them. Today nothing has changed and our students’ academic and personal achievements bear testimony to this.
